Trial summary

Hydatid disease is an anthropozoonosis due to the development of the larval form of Echinococcus granulosus in the human body, which constitutes a 'dead-end' host. It's a common parasitosis in North African countries and constitutes a public health problem in Morocco. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Multiple Disseminated Hydatidosis With Rare Locations: Mediastinal, Pancreatic and Pelvic: Case Report

Hydatid disease is an anthropozoonosis due to the development of the larval form of Echinococcus granulosus in the human body, which constitutes a 'dead-end' host. It's a common parasitosis in North African countries and constitutes a public health problem in Morocco. The liver and lung are the most affected while the mediastinum, pancreas and pelvis are rarely affected. We report the case of a 40-year-old patient operated 15 years ago for cerebral and cervical hydatid cysts and who was hospitalized for generalized mucocutaneous jaundice. On exploration, we discover the presence of disseminated abdominal hydatidosis with association of 3 rare locations: mediastinal, pancreatic and pelvic. Indirect diagnostic tests were positive: indirect hemagglutination (IHA) and Elisa. The Western blot test also showed the presence of specific bands, thus making it possible to retain the diagnosis of hydatidosis.

The hydatid cyst with mediastinal, pancreatic and pelvic location is rare and their association is very exceptional. It is essential to evoke the hydatid origin of any cystic lesion in a patient staying in an endemic area.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • duct diversionProcedure or surgery

    the patient benefited from a diversion of the bile ducts complicated by ruptured cysts with anaphylactic shock

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. THE PATIENT DIED due to probably anaphylactic shock

    the patient probably had the rupture of cysts during the surgical procedure with anaphylactic shock as a complication

    Measured: 1 mounth

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Echinococcus Infections, run by Faculty Of Medicine And Pharmacy, Casablanca at 1 site in Morocco.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Morocco. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

THE PATIENT DIED due to probably anaphylactic shock (time frame: 1 mounth). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 31 Oct 2023.
